A richly atmospheric page-turner—readers will eagerly anticipate
the forthcoming sequel.
—Kirkus Reviews
The terrifically engaging tale combines the old-fashioned charms of
a manor-house mystery with elements of classic fantasy,
establishing a world rich in details while leaving enough unknown
to pique curiosity.
—Booklist
This quick novel is chock-full of snowy magic perfect for the
holidays; fans of detective stories, like Seren herself, will
appreciate her aptitude for getting into trouble through her drive
to investigate the unknown. After Seren’s hard life, she gets a
well-deserved, if a little too neatly wrapped, happy ending, but
readers will be thrilled to know that this UK import already has a
sequel that may soon arrive in the U.S.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Originally published in England and making its U.S., debut, this
novel features excellent world-building and an engaging caper with
supernatural elements.
—School Library Journal
